JobType: full-time

The Software Development Engineer 2 (DevOps & Infrastructure) will play a key role in building, scaling, and securing cloud infrastructure for high-growth, production systems. This role focuses on infrastructure automation, reliability engineering, and scalable deployment practices to support rapid product growth and increasing traffic demands.

Key Responsibilities

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

• Design, implement, and maintain cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation.
• Migrate manually managed infrastructure into fully automated, version-controlled environments.

Scalable Architecture & Reliability

• Contribute to the evolution of infrastructure architectures capable of handling significant traffic growth.
• Implement auto-scaling, high availability, and multi-region resilience strategies.

CI/CD & Deployment Automation

• Build, enhance, and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines for backend and frontend services.
• Implement safe deployment strategies such as canary releases and zero-downtime rollouts.

Cloud Cost Optimization

• Monitor and optimize cloud costs by right-sizing resources, leveraging spot instances, and improving architectural efficiency.
• Partner with engineering teams to balance performance, reliability, and cost.

Platform Lifecycle Management

• Ensure regular upgrades and patching of Kubernetes clusters, databases, operating systems, and supporting services.
• Proactively mitigate security, stability, and compatibility risks.

Monitoring, Uptime & Observability

• Implement and maintain monitoring, alerting, and observability systems using tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, or Datadog.
• Support high availability through automated failover, disaster recovery planning, and incident response practices.

Security & Compliance

• Ensure infrastructure follows best practices for security, data protection, network isolation, and compliance standards.
• Review and contribute to technical designs with a focus on security, scalability, and cost efficiency.

Experience & Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience working in high-growth product environments or large-scale engineering teams.
• Proven experience converting manual infrastructure into IaC and managing production-grade state files.
• Strong hands-on expertise with AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), and Docker for microservices-based systems.
• Experience building and optimizing CI/CD pipelines for high-velocity engineering teams.
• Solid understanding of cloud networking concepts including VPCs, peering, transit gateways, and DNS (Route53).
• Experience working with message queues such as SQS or RabbitMQ.
• Exposure to observability and logging frameworks for production systems.

Nice to Have

• Experience managing high-concurrency data stores such as ClickHouse.
• Exposure to large-scale data pipelines and streaming systems.
• Familiarity with performance tuning and reliability engineering at scale.
